Instruction / Coaching

If your students practice as much as you’d like, and follow all your directions with a passion, then you are very fortunate and do not need this. I’d love to hear your program, I’m sure your students are awesome! If you are like most of the rest of us then we can use meta coaching to develop them to become that way.

This involves having a live session with a student. It is like having an interpreter between the teacher and student. We can examine in detail why certain errors occur, how they are fixed, and ask why has that not been done? When we examine this, armed with research and experience, it brings the student to quickly accomplish certain things they could not do before creating motivation through accomplishment. Another area we would address would be habit pattern development to pretty painlessly build strong practice schedules.

Practice Coaching

Practice needs to be developed like other skills by addressing varied situations over and over in a structured way to build and strengthen the broad and nuanced skill of critical thinking while working. There is no time to do this in private lessons and students are left on their own to develop their practice. Those that do it right we call talented, and then there is everyone else. Practice Coaching bridges this gap – have all of the ‘talent’ you want.

These occur between lessons and support the teacher’s directions. We’ll find out how to best execute them for great lessons and great progress.

We will meet for hour-long sessions weekly. The student is then left to do these things on their own. If they wish to do more practice coaching they should return after a time off developing the ideas we worked on. A limited amount of spots are available. Check here for availability (put an email contact).
